Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Cut in the unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the Filling
In a skillet over medium heat, add a bit of oil and sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent. Add the ground beef, cumin, coriander, cayenne, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the beef is browned. Stir in the chopped mustard greens and cook until wilted. Mix in the harissa. Remove from heat and let cool.

Assemble the Hand Pies
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into circles about 5 inches in diameter. Place a spoonful of the beef filling in the center of each circle, top with a small amount of yassa onion jam, then fold over to create a half-moon shape. Crimp the edges with a fork to seal.

Bake the Hand Pies
Arrange the hand pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with a beaten egg for shine (optional). Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with additional harissa on the side.
